derfully uniform in shape and quality. Y\ lb., 15c 



~~ HACKENSACK — It is round, and of large size 

 netted; flesh green and thick; delicious flavor. *4 lb., 

 1 lb., 40c. 



PAUL ROSE, OR PETOSKEY — This new melon is a 

 cross of the Osage with Netted Gem. It possesses the fine 



JENNY LIND — An extra early green- 

 fleshed melon, and one of the sweetest 

 flavor. Fruits small, globular, oval, little 

 flattened, ribbed and covered with shallow 

 netting. One of the best small melons for 

 lotel and restaurant use. J4 lb., 15c; 



BALTIMORE NUTMEG This 



doubt the best Cantaloupe for table use and mar- 

 ket purposes. It is slightly ribbed, beauti- 

 ful, heavily netted, green skin, oval shape; 

 flesh thick, green, very fine flavored and 

 sweet; very prolific. l /i lb., 15c; lb., 40c. 



EMERALD GEM — Fruit small to 

 medium-sized; globular, or slightly flat- 

 tened at the ends; only slightly netted 

 and ribbed. Skin deep green while 

 young, becoming tinged with yellow as • 

 the fruit matures; flesh deep salmon yel- 

 low, thick; ripening close to the rind, 

 and exceedingly high flavored. T /i lb., 



15c, I lb., 40c. EMERALD GREEN, 



of the most netting of the Gem, and averages about the same size; but 



owing to the great thickness of its beautiful salmon-colored 

 flesh, will weigh at least one-third more than a Netted Gem 

 of the same size. The size is much more convenient for 

 packing in baskets than the Osage, while as a shipper and 

 long keeper it surpasses all other red-fleshed melons. In 

 some Western cities, where there is a good demand for red 

 or salmon-fleshed varieties, the Paul Rose sells at double 

 the price of other sorts. Market gardeners who grow red- 

 fleshed melons will find the Paul Rose their most profitable 

 sort, while for the home table nothing better could be de- 

 sired or obtained. T /\ lb., 15c; lb., 40c.
